The second one

8. What are your strengths and weaknesses as far as production is concerned?

Strengths- I think of ways to chop a sample that most people wouldnt, im fairly versatile if absolutely needed, im fairly good at making a track with replay value...

Weaknesses- not as good on the keys as id like to be, generally dont cater to other people other than eastcoast rappers(mainly), and iunno cant really think of too many strengths or weaknesses right now

8. What are your strengths and weaknesses as far as production is concerned? strengths i feel like all my strengths are decent to good but i want to step it to the next level, that very pro sound n etc.. also the thing is the consistency.. i bang hot shit for like 3weeks n go on a big slump for a while but im back now..

if i could spend 5 g's...ASP8 monitors, fantom x8, digi002rack, pc with 3.0 ghz (n a bootlegged copy of FL)

UMASS BABY!!!

Ppl heard of me, but i stay low key, i let shit go by word of mouth of ppl i work with...

I make music to what I like...but i let the melody i put down determine my beat

3 under rated...Havoc, P. Killer who did alot of ruff ryder shit i dunno if he still there...and Mel-Man who had his hands on dre's 2001

Most over rated...NEPTUNES....Mr. Collipark...and eventhough i love the shit outta lil jon beats he's on the list just cuz he uses the same sound all the time...n ima extend my list n put kanye on there for using the same damn snare n kick n sampling everything haha cuz many ppl who sample can compose too n id like to see him compose a bit more so he's on the list as a challenge to his composing skills haha

i think right now the most important thing for me is just getting my name out, forget the money n the big artists, thatll come as soon as i get my name out

my weakness is sampling...i try but it dont interest me too much
and in my eyes i dont have strengths yet, im nowhere close to where id like to b so i wont bullshit that
